"Bang bang...bang..."
A caravan and a convoy loaded with goods passed through the desolate land and suddenly stopped.
They felt the tremors of the earth and the faint heat in the air.
“What’s the sound?” The owner of the caravan quickly ran to a higher place and looked into the distance.
“Boom!”
The huge noise came again, and they finally discovered what it was.
In the distance, two huge figures slowly appeared on the horizon.
Those were two strange beasts that were more than ten meters high and were fighting each other. The flames that shot out from time to time turned into storms and swept across all directions, and the earth was burned to black.
Every movement they make causes the earth to roar, roll, trample, chase, and jump. The ground is overwhelmed, and the ground they pass is filled with huge pits.
"It's... it's... it's a high-level third-level alien beast!" The guards of the caravan sensed the powerful spiritual energy fluctuations emitted by these two alien beasts, and their teeth were chattering with fear.
The caravan boss standing high up was well-informed and guessed that they were the two alien beasts that had been fighting for territory for more than half a year in recent rumors, so he immediately gave the order, "Leave quickly and go over there.
Walk!"
“Boss, if we go that way, it will take us several days of detours to reach Forge City!” Someone asked a question.
"Is it too troublesome to save your life? Follow my instructions! Spend more time, it is better than being affected and losing your life." The caravan boss yelled at the person who asked the question.
Subsequently, many caravans passed by this place, and they also saw these two fighting beasts, and they all chose to take a detour.
The two fighting beasts seemed not to notice the caravan at all, and were immersed in the fight.
“Hoo!” The strange beast that looked a bit like a gorilla spit out flames and strong winds from its mouth. The violent fire storm was accompanied by the crackling sound of thunderbolts, which was the sound of red-hot rocks exploding on the ground.
Its opponent is an alien beast that looks a bit like a baboon. Facing the orangutan alien's supernatural attack, it activates its supernatural powers and many black scales appear on its body.
The flames and high temperature that were enough to melt the stone burned its body, but those black scales didn't even turn red.
"Roar……"
The two sides were of equal strength, and neither could do anything to the other. After they were tired from the fight, they distanced themselves to rest and roared at each other.
“Hey, it’s been several months, and you two haven’t decided yet?” A voice sounded in the ears of the two beasts.
The giant orangutan and the baboon stopped shouting and scolding, and both looked towards the place where the sound came from.
“Lord Boss.” The two strange beasts said respectfully when they saw a figure made of mud standing by the river in the distance.
"Your fighting will be suspended for a moment. The leader ordered me to lead my troops to attack the Forging City. You will follow me to fight." The sludge monster ordered his two capable generals.
"Yes." Although the two beasts were unwilling to give in, their superiors had spoken and they could only put aside their grudges for the time being and wait for a showdown in the future.
After conveying the order, the clone of the sludge monster immediately jumped into the river behind him and disappeared without a trace.
………
Night has fallen, and the bright moon is in the sky.
The three brothers, Colorful Flower and Sparrow, who looked like human children, were standing on the top floor of a building in the construction site, looking at a slim figure below and punching a skinny man.
There was an explosion of "bang", sand and stones flew up, and the slim blue-haired woman remained motionless. The skinny man flew far away, turned over in mid-air, and then landed on the ground and took several steps back.
Stand firm.
"Damn it, I just stole a wallet! How could I meet such a crazy woman?" The skinny man cursed Jiang Lingyu in his heart, and then said, "You said you are not an investigator, why are you chasing me like this?
What to put it for?"
"Hmph, you are such a nasty thief. I'll beat them up every time I see them. If you know what they're looking for, hand over the stolen items quickly." Jiang Lingyu was about to go home after visiting the newly opened area. She didn't expect to run into a thief.
Thief.
“…” The skinny man was silent. It seemed that he didn’t want to hand over the stolen goods in his hand.
Jiang Lingyu took a step forward, sank her right foot, and suddenly exerted force. She rushed out like an arrow from a string, and let out a loud shout in the air. Her echo echoed throughout the construction site.
“That’s so fast. This crazy woman didn’t even use her full strength just now.” As soon as the thin man had this idea, he was hit by Jiang Lingyu who was approaching her instantly.
"boom!"
Although the fist was delicate, it was not weak in strength. The skinny man's body flew out like a fallen leaf and fell to the ground, coughing out a mouthful of blood.
He tried to hold himself up, but the huge dizziness and stinging sensation prevented him from succeeding. His vision was blurry and he couldn't see anything clearly. He shouted, "Stop fighting, I surrender..."
Jiang Lingyu saw the thief in front of her surrendering, taking out her wallet from her pocket and placing it on the ground. She immediately restrained her fighting spirit and stepped forward slowly.
But at this moment, a siren sounded outside the construction site, which made Jiang Lingyu's expression change greatly, "Oops, the official is here!"
“Why did she run away?” The skinny man turned around and ran away when he saw the scary mad woman. He came to a wall and turned over without a trace.
Subsequently, the skinny man was taken away by investigators who rushed to the scene.
…
It was late at night, and there were no people on the roads in the suburbs. Under the dim street lights, Jiang Lingyu was walking alone on the road.
The quiet night and the sporadic chirping of crickets in the grass on the roadside add a quiet color to the street.
“It’s hard to understand that in such a peaceful and beautiful world, there are still people who are thieves. It’s really hard to understand!” Jiang Lingyu said to herself.
"Indeed, I think so too. I don't understand what those people think..." A voice sounded behind Jiang Lingyu.
“Oh! You think so too!” Jiang Lingyu responded subconsciously. Then, her face hardened, she stopped, and turned around sharply.
All he saw in front of him was a child no more than ten years old, who was looking at him curiously.
Although the other person was just a child and she didn't sense any psychic energy fluctuations in him, Jiang Lingyu was tense all over and looked at the other person with a serious face.
Why did Jiang Lingyu have such a big reaction? It's because what she just said to herself was in the common language of the spirit world, and the children who echoed her words also used the common language of the spirit world.
“Who are you?” Jiang Lingyu said to the child in front of her in the common language of the spirit world.
"Are you from the spirit world?" Qisehua did not answer Jiang Lingyu's words, but asked a question.
Tonight, it and the three sparrow brothers went out to look for targets to rob the rich and give to the poor. Unexpectedly, they would meet such a human who could speak the common language of the spirit world. This made it curious, so it followed him to find out what was going on.
Jiang Lingyu was silent for a while and said, "Are you also from the spirit world?"
“Yeah.” Qise Hua admitted frankly that this appearance was not its original appearance anyway.
Jiang Lingyu was shocked when she saw the other party's admission. She had always thought that she was the only visitor from another world in this world, but she didn't expect that there were other people of the same kind who suffered the same fate as herself.
“How long have you been in this world?” Qisehua asked.
"Not many days, no more than half a month." Jiang Lingyu said, "What about you?"
“It’s been almost a year.” Qisehua said.
“Looking at how young you are, how do you live in such a world these days?” Jiang Lingyu asked curiously.
“Someone took me in.” Qisehua said.
“Take in? Is the person who takes you in someone from this world?”
"Um."
“Does that person know that you are from the spirit world?”
"Yeah." Qisehua nodded and added in her mind, "I was brought to this world from the spirit world by him."
“How did you come to this world from the spirit world?” Qisehua asked.
“I don’t know either. After I woke up, I came to this world.” Jiang Lingyu shook her head.
"Are you going back to the spirit world? After all, you are not from this world. If you are exposed, no one knows what will happen." Qisehua asked.
"..." Jiang Lingyu was silent for a while, and then said, "Let's not mention that I don't know the way to return to the spirit world. Even if I know the way, I don't plan to go back. I've had enough of that dangerous world."
Qisehua had an expression on her face that I knew was the answer, "Where do you live now?"
“In the wilderness.”
“In the wilderness?”
"Um."
“Would you like to change places? I have an empty room.”
“…” Jiang Lingyu was stunned.
“Don’t worry, even the person who took me in doesn’t know that place.” Qisehua said.
“Why are you helping me like this?” Jiang Lingyu asked.
"Judging from what you did to the thief just now, you are not a bad person... Moreover, you and I may be the only two people in this world who come from the spirit world. In the words of this world, we are half fellow villagers, helping each other.
It's appropriate to take a moment." Qisehua explained.
“Thank you. I appreciate your kindness. I’m living quite well on my own now.” Jiang Lingyu declined politely.
"Oh, that's okay!" Qisehua didn't force it, and handed Jiang Lingyu a piece of paper with its mobile phone number written on it, telling her that if she encountered any difficulties, she could call her, and then turned around and left.
Looking at the colorful flowers walking away, Jiang Lingyu breathed a sigh of relief. Based on her many years of experience in the world, this child who looked ordinary and came from the same world as herself was probably not like what she had seen.
Simple.
Just because he quietly appeared behind you without him noticing, it was worth being vigilant.
After Qise Hua's figure completely disappeared, Jiang Lingyu stood there for a few more minutes. Then, she opened her senses to look around and found that there was nothing abnormal, and then she ran quickly towards her "home".
Just as Jiang Lingyu set off again, a short figure walked out of the grass in the distance.
“This man is very vigilant!” Qisehua muttered, and said to the three Sparrow brothers beside him, “Wait for me here for a while, I’ll be back soon.”
After saying that, Qise Hua had a flash of inspiration, disappeared on the spot, and instantly appeared under a tree a hundred meters away, and then followed Jiang Lingyu in the direction he left.
………
Today's sunshine is scorching and shining directly without any cover. The fierce force seems to melt the small town.
You know, it’s mid-September now. At this time in previous years, the temperature is not so high, and this year’s weather is too abnormal.
It is now eight o'clock in the morning, but the air is already filled with heavy heat. People are lazy and unable to cheer up for anything.
At this moment, everyone just hopes that the weather will be kind and a heavy rain will fall soon to drive away the unbearable heat.
Sunlight shines through the gap between the curtains and into the dark bedroom bed. The host is sleeping soundly and snoring slightly.
"Jingle Bell……"
The cell phone placed on the bedside table suddenly came to mind and woke up Lin Fei who was sleeping in.
“Who is it? The phone call in the early morning is annoying me?” Lin Fei opened his eyes, reached for his mobile phone, looked at the caller ID, and found that it was the real estate agent Zhou Xiaochuan whom he had not contacted for a long time.
"Hello?"
“Mr. Lin, good morning!”
“Good morning, Manager Zhou, do you want to see me for anything?”
“Mr. Lin, I have just received a store, and the landlord is eager to sell it. I took a look and found that the location is good and the price is cheap, so I called you right away to ask if you are interested.”
“How much?” Lin Fei asked.
"Two million and four hundred thousand, with an area of 120 square meters. The owner used to sell malatang himself, but now he is in urgent need of money. All kinds of utensils in the store are given away for free with the store." Zhou Xiaochuan said.
“The price is okay. Is it convenient for you now? I’ll go to that store and have a look.” Lin Fei said.
“It’s convenient, I’ll send you the address of the store...” Zhou Xiaochuan said.
After making an appointment with Zhou Xiaochuan, Lin Fei muttered after hanging up the phone.
“It used to be a Malatang store with all the utensils. I recruited a few people to reopen it, which is convenient. If I want to eat Malatang in the future, I can just go to my own store to eat it.”
Finishing his attention, Lin Fei quickly got up and went to wash up.
…
In a room of Huimin Hotel in Tianhai City, the air conditioner made a slight sound, and the room was filled with dry air.
At this time, Zhou Yue was lying on the bed with her limbs spread out, and the thin blanket that originally covered her belly was thrown under the bed.
“Dong dong dong…” Along with a knock on the door, someone shouted outside the bedroom door, “Zhou Yue, what time is it, and I still haven’t gotten up yet.”
“Hmm~!” Zhou Yue screamed after being woken up, and opened her sleepy eyes. She sat up, raised her right hand, rubbed her hair, and then got up and got out of bed.
The door opens.
Today, Zhou Yue wore a nightgown that was more "conservative" than usual. This made Lin Fei breathe a sigh of relief. He could look directly at the other person normally.
But...when I opened the door, a strong smell of alcohol hit my face. It seemed that this fool had drank a lot since he left last night.
